Our Services
inacoustic: noise experts with over 60 years of experience
Established in 2015, inacoustic provides environmental noise monitoring, noise assessment and acoustic consultancy services to a wide range of clients throughout every sector. Our highly trained technical staff are all members of the Institute of Acoustics and, together, bring over 60 years of acoustics expertise, project know-how and commercial awareness to our client’s projects.
Noise Assessments
Our Noise Assessments evaluate the impact of noise on noise-sensitive locations to meet specific criteria. Our reports offer practical recommendations to comply with British Standards, best practices, and local authority criteria, ensuring negative effects from noise are minimised during planning and licensing applications.
Environmental Noise Surveys
We conduct precise environmental noise surveys to measure the acoustic environment in a given location utilising advanced technology and industry standards for optimal results. Our surveys provide data for use in our technical reports and can guide commercial decision making.
Renewable Energy Noise
We analyse the noise impact of renewable energy projects like Wind Farms, Solar PV sites, Battery Storage, Hydrogen Power Plants and more. Our assessments ensure compliance with local regulations and standards for acoustic design and assist our clients with commercial decision-making.
Residential Development Noise
Our residential noise assessments help to identify potential noise constraints that may arise from the development of a new residential scheme or master plan. We provide practical strategies in accordance with BS8233 and ProPG to uphold residential amenity, meet client requirements and incorporate good acoustic design wherever possible.
Planning Noise & Licensing Noise
We provide noise assessments and reports to support planning and licensing applications for a wide range of projects. Our expertise helps ensure compliance with national planning practices, local regulations and industry standards.
Building & Architectural Acoustics
Our building and architectural acoustics services help ensure cost-effective, acoustic solutions in a wide range of buildings and spaces. We work with architects, designers, and contractors to provide practical solutions that enhance acoustic performance and reduce noise, whilst achieving regulatory compliance.
Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)
Noise and Vibration chapters are required for an Environmental Statement, which is included as part of a wider Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for planning purposes, when local authorities require an EIA for larger developments.
Event Noise Management
Effective event noise management is critical to the success of any event showcasing live or recorded entertainment. Monitoring noise levels at front-of-house positions and off-site receptor locations ensures that local noise regulations and licensing conditions are met, minimizes disturbance to nearby residents, and provides a safe, enjoyable and acoustically appealing experience for organisers, attendees and receptors alike.
Sound Testing
We are experts in Building Acoustics and have undertaken thousands of sound tests for Building Regulations Compliance across the UK. Our experienced sound testing team carry out industry-accredited sound insulation testing for Part E of Building Regulations Compliance, with a commitment to quick turnaround and competitive pricing.
Construction Noise & Vibration
Our construction noise and vibration assessments help identify potential sources of excessive noise and vibration associated with construction projects. We provide practical solutions to mitigate any negative impact on nearby residents or businesses.
Noise in the Workplace Assessments
Our noise in the workplace assessments help identify potential sources of excessive noise and provide practical solutions to reduce employee exposure. We work with business owners and managers to ensure compliance with national Health and Safety regulations and industry standards.
Noise Modelling
Our noise modelling services help predict the impact of noise on the surrounding environment and identify potential sources of excessive noise. We use advanced modelling software and industry best practices to ensure accurate and meaningful results.
